FIVE things about Jeremy Corbyn the media completely ignored
We all know by now the media ignores everything positive about the Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn whilst smearing and lying about the man day in day out.
So let's take a look at the top 5 things (our editor personally picked out) that the media totally ignored.
5. Gandhi Peace award
The Gandhi Foundation International Peace Award for 2013 was awarded to Jeremy Corbyn, MP Islington North on 26th November 2013 at Portcullis House.
The Trustees of The Gandhi Foundation agreed to offer him our International Peace Award in recognition of his consistent efforts over a 30-year Parliamentary career to uphold the Gandhian values of social justice and non‐violence. Besides being a popular and hard‐working constituency MP he has made time to speak and write extensively in support of human rights at home and worldwide. His committed opposition to neocolonial wars and to nuclear weapons has repeatedly shown the lack of truth in the arguments of those who have opposed him.
4. Grenfell Memorial Service
Families of the victims clearly stated they did not want any Tories at the memorial service including Tory leader and Prime Minister Theresa May but she took it upon herself to disrespect what the families wanted and went anyway.
Imagine if the families of Iraq soldiers families said they didn't want Labour at a memorial service and told Corbyn not to go and he went anyway, Imagine the right wing press outrage.
Of course as sly and cold-hearted as that woman is by not staying away she made things ten times worse by sneaking through the back door to only....(wait for it)...SIT ON THE FRONT ROW without a care in the world and in perfect view of BBC cameras.
Jeremy Corbyn was invited and did turn up like the rest of the service goers through the front entrance also spent time with and comforted families with even one family member asking him to come for dinner at her house whilst all on camera. She then broke down in tears and grabbed him to hug him and he hugged her back.
Grenfell fire memorial service was to remember the victims 6 months on after the terrible disaster which killed over 70 people.
Grenfell will always be remembered as a capitalist Neo-Liberal disaster waiting to happen.
3. Apologising for the Iraq war

1. Corbyn's second Peace award 2017
UK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has been awarded the Sean MacBride Peace Prize along with Noam Chomsky and Japanese anti-military base activists, yet the award received scant coverage in the British media.
The International Peace Bureau presents the Sean MacBride Peace Prize to individuals, organizations or movements for their work in the areas of peace, disarmament and human rights.
Corbyn, along with renowned scholar Noam Chomsky and the All Okinawa Council Against Henoko New Base, was deemed this year’s recipients. Corbyn received his award in Geneva Friday.
The Labour leader was recognized for his “sustained and powerful political work for disarmament and peace.” His longtime work with the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament in the UK and the Stop the War Campaign was commended, as was his efforts for peace as a politician.
“As a member of parliament in the UK, he has, for 34 years continually taken that work for justice, peace and disarmament to the political arena both in and outside of Parliament,” the International Peace Bureau said. “He has ceaselessly stood by the principles, which he has held for so long, to ensure true security and well-being for all – for his constituents, for the citizens of the UK and for the people of the world.”
“As leader of the Labour Party and Leader of the Opposition he continues to carry his personal principles into his political life – stating openly that he could not press the nuclear button and argue strongly for a re-orientation of priorities – to cut military spending and spend instead on health, welfare and education.”
The Japanese All Okinawa Council Against Henoko New Base was recognized for its commitment to close the Futenma Marine Air Base and its opposition to building another military base in Henoko. The group was awarded its prize in Barcelona at the end of November.
Chomsky was recognized for his decades-long efforts supporting peace, his anti-imperialist stance and his criticism of militarist US foreign policy. He will be presented with his award in the US next year.
Obviously, there are a LOT more that has been and will be ignored but thank god for alternative media who needs Mainstream Media anyway.
